Yes, it's normal.
However, it's important to understand that for most of these girls, and I know many very personally, their self esteem is shot. Gone. They hate themselves. Every bad thing people think about them, they think about themselves. So they prance and dance and try to make themselves feel better about it when the reality is that the ones that are smart enough to understand the consequences know that the next few years of their life will be struggle. Struggle with an uncooperative father, struggle to pay bills and feed the kids that they weren't ready to have.
The ones who don't understand are hit in the face by reality that much harder. Some teens make great parents but a great deal more are overwhelmed. That time in your life is a time to find your identity and your potential and it's damaging for many of them to go to being Mom before they even know who Mom is.
Just sit back. Smile and nod. Most of them realize the gravity of the situation at some point.
